Update - Starter brush

received new brush for starter and installed them

Window regulator

Had a sudden drop of driver side rear window. Window go up normal, but drops on bump. Temporary used wood stick and was disconnected switch.

decided to disassemble, there was no bolt, nut, screw. All dead mounted with rivet

studs punched back, drilled them all, start with 5mm, then 7mm.

total 7 hole made to free up regulator

dismount regulator from window glass

got it

here 3 more rivet, to disassemble motor & guide assembly

the gap seems little wide,

made a gap little smaller and added short bit of wire to align guide to gear

bolted back, 10mm bolt/nut. 1 short, 2 normal

checked operation, was little lazy, but good enough. put regulator inside door and mount window glass. Then mounted back regulator to door with 10mm bolt/nut @7 position

Alternator upgrade - 136A

Received 136A alternator as gift from friend and decided to install it. It is pulled from 98 ZJ. With stock unit, I had little voltage drop (~13V) when everything turn ON and set HIGH

comparing with stock one, much bigger in size. Output terminal nut is 12mm instead of 10mm stock alternator. 

Bigger the unit, needs some shaving of brackets.

finished aluminium bracket

final fit with brackets and heavy duty cable, ready to install

installed and ready to rock-n-roll.

Tested at full electric load (AC on Max/High; Stereo on High; headlights On/High beam, Hazard flashers On; dome light on) and Voltmeter is steady on ~14.5V.

Had a bad cranking last few days and decided to check starter.

 lots of dirt and buildup inside
